Phantom 3 Standard- Weird problem

[Arkusss]

So no rear lights on arms at all to indercate what drone is doin and only a red gimble light ?
I misread the beeping part ,duno why I thought it had a continuous beeping unlike start up chirp,
This what I was saying about a can of worms,,,unless you get it to link ain't nothing going to happen,
No power at gimble could be ribbon cable or bad board, I not goin to say buy this or that cause might not fix the issue, could also be cheaper to find another p3 for parts so you got bits to try eliminate
Yeh video shows it not happy

Yeah I get the fumble part but why aren’t the arm lights on?

Could have had hard landing maybe and jarred something off main board ,sounds like you have to get in side to check everything ,not sure if gimble ribbon cable gone bad but would not surprise me
Also where gimble clips into board might have broken conection in the board which also happens which could be no power to gimble which make for cant link ,and just mention ribbon cables can go bad without any crashing involved,
Unsure what really to advise apart from stripping gimble to check boards and cables , if it flew previous and just got stored , I'd try ribbon cable set , but original parts only,cheap knock offs wont work

I had similar wacky stuff happening with my Phantom 4 Pro this past month. Video, gimbal, and battery issues - all at the same time. Turned out to be a bad SDcard. Crazy!!!

How did you fix it?

@LOVE NZ, I'm glad your still around

I'm still stuck on it is not linking problem, the battery level looks good
On power up the strobes should be working and the gimbal should be active.without any any connection to the RC.

Tell me all the ways to link it and I’ll try every way tonight

Also I’m going to open it up and check all the strobe and gimbal connections

I was asked to photograph a company event with my drone, so a few days beforehand I decided to run through some of the camera and flight settings like I usually do in preparation for a job -- only to find that I had no video feed in either DJI Go4 or Litchi. Not only that, but I get the message "Warning: The MC connection to the center board has failed. Solution: Restart the drone. If the problem persists contact DJI Support." Plus, in the DJI Go4 settings I see "Gimbal Disconnected" even though the gimbal is obviously reacting to me tilting the drone side to side. In addition, I get a...

@Arkusss
I believe it is not a linking problem.

Normally I would have more focus on this thread, it is what it is at the moment.

I disconnected the gimbal and the drones strobe power on now With sold red in the front and flashing yellow in the back, I found the culprit I believe the Grey ribbon wire with 8 pins in it is broken

Awsome find,,you might be able to fix that since no snapped wires, also rc linking in the app
And just as @RodPad mention it might already be linked so fix your gimble wires and turn on to test if it connects,
This is manual linking process without app conection

Is there some kind of diagram for the gimbal wires??

 

[Arkusss]

Is there some kind of diagram for the gimbal wires??

Does telemetry work without fumble as I think this wire is kinda messed up

 

[IANZONE]

Yeh sure diagram been posted here before, might be able to locate the right sequence of wires with how they sat in the plug but I'll see if I find a picture

Yes if you can that would be awesome

Found this pic from another thread on cable and shows plug conection facing upward to use as a follow guide ...picture taken from thread below to see and read in the link here

Thread 'Phantom 3 Standard - gimbal ribbon'

Aug 23, 2016

Hi guys I was wondering if you could help me.

I let my niece fly my phantom 3 standard and she promptly steered it into a tree (my idiocy I know).
The gimbal vibration plate broke and the ribbon of wires was pulled out of the connecting plug attached to the gimbal.

I'm trying to plug them back in but not sure which of the 8 wires go into each of the 10 holes.

Does anyone have a phantom 3 standard they could take a photo of for me?

The pic is related.

Any pictures help if you unsure of anything,helps those to reading to follow
I got disappear for a bit but me be back good luck your in there now lol

 

[Arkusss]

Got the gimble working but can’t get the drone to pair with the RC

 

[IANZONE]

Ok dont worry about red front lights,they irrelevant, they are just to show the user the front and nothing else
The rear arms are what's telling us what the drone is doing, so we got flashing yellow only on the rear so we dont get confused .
Do you have app installed ?
Can you navigate through app ok , under RC settings there's linking there too, have you tryed this yet, this in app process you have to move gimble wheel like the directional pictures it shows you to follow or it dont save or have you tryed this process and it just times out without linking,you get 60 sec to press link button before it times out in which you start process again . Does it complete or fail ?
Sorry for questions but it help fix or point us in right direction
There are only these 2 ways to link , in app or manual without app
Good effort on the gimble repair too
